+ Jesus continues today his emphasis on his unity with the Father. He is
the exact representation of the Father; and he wants to get the
message across that when anyone looks at
Him, they see the Father! - because
everything is all about the Father, and his glory!
And, this is how close to
humanity God the Father wants to be! He is saying look at my Son and see me!
Hear my Son and hear me! Love and respect my Son, and love and respect me! And
when you see him acting as your servant and brother – washing your feet, and
being willing to give his all for you, it is me and my desire to serve you that
you see! I who am Lord God Almighty –
making myself like one of you, for your own good and for your salvation!
In the first reading today we
have Paul preaching to his fellow children of Israel of the validity and
credibility of the descendancy and life of Jesus – Son of David – who was to be
the one true King of Israel forever – the one true Servant King – the one true
Loving King! And he is not only their King forever, but ours as well. We belong
to a royal family – and that is something to celebrate!
We now sing of the goodness of the Lord –
who is faithful to his promises and who establishes his kindness and mercy forever!
